I'm not, but I'll grab the hook for a few seconds.

This is going to boil down to Lenovo getting $0.90, $2.00, some other amount per system or a one time payment. It could also be for a specific quantity of desktop/laptop systems, sysems shipped after a specific date or within a specific time frame. There could also be a geographical component to this. There may also be other details to the financial arrangement, targetting demographics and systems affected.

I would guess that this did not get installed on server or workstation products, but I wouldn't be all that surprised if the latter were.

I wonder how much Lenovo received and how the payments were structured.
